Dare Accepted

I was dared by the Cat Realm. Mr Chen had the winning dare which was to show how I help save the environment. I like to think my carbon pawprint is rather small, but here is what we do to help the world.

This is my backyard. It has what my parents like to call "Desert Landscaping" and it's what I like call "A lot of sharp, paw-hurting, pointy rocks." They installed it to use less water in the desert we live in. The next photo is what Mommy calls her "Recycling" it's what Daddy calls her "Her Crap Pile" (this is nothing, it's usually a lot higher).

Hey Mommy, I was supposed to be in the pictures too... Well Fin, you would have been if you had cooperated!

We gets a lot of rain (and snow) so we don't hafta water much but when we do mom uses a barrel of saved rainwater. Oh, and our crap pile gets taken out every 3 days...it's on mom's little OCD calendar in her head.

Thank you so much for accepting the Dare! Desert landscaping is wonderful! We live in the desert too - though I have to admit, my staff keeps a lush garden.... BUT all local plants with grey water use!Karl
